Nett's Intro

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone! MY name is Nett (yes that is my real name, not a

nickname) and I live in NY state. I am currenly in my last year of

my BS (I'm on the 10-year plan, feels like i have been going to

school forever!), which is partially in Alternative Health. When I

finish next year, I will go on to a MS/PhD program in Natural Health.

 

I have been interested in natual healing for a few years,

specifically in herbs.

 

I am just finishing building a new house on a peaceful lake. I have

two large areas dug up for garends, one for vegetables and the other

for herbs.

 

Currently, I have dill, thyme, comfrey, echinacea, lemon balm,

lavender, and sage in little seedling containers waiting to go into

the ground!

 

I am in zone 5; can you recommend some other herbs to fill my garden

in this zone?

 

My second question is about poison ivy. I would like to treat it

natually (of course!) and was wondering what you think about using a

comfrey salve on it. It includes olive oil, comfrey, calendula,

lavender, bees wax, and goldenseal.

 

Thanks!

Looking forward to absorbing and sharing much more wonderful

information with you!
